Bath Race 6

Monarch Classic At Bath Racecourse Handicap

Stake: $13,151

Bidding for a hat-trick ZAPPATA (1) followed-up a gutsy Wetherby triumph last month to make it two from three on turf with a dominating 5L win at Redcar four-days-ago. Well-in on figures and hard to stop in current form. EVA'S EYES (7) has been running with credit despite still searching for that elusive first success. Deserves consideration with Jim Crowley booked to ride. HAVANA CLUB (2) holds place chances third-up. Any moves in the market for MOUNT OF GOLD (5) are to be noted returning form a long break.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; won by 5 len at Redcar May 1 over 1620m defeating Mission In Malton with 61kg at $1.80. The race before that favourite; won by 1.5 len at Wetherby April 27 over 1600m defeating Penn Avenue carrying 57kg at $3.50. Form good for this and is expected to run well.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
